Just over a week ago there were rain storms in BC that caused catastrophic flooding and mud slides in parts of BC. Lives were lost, some homes are gone forever, the highways connecting the coast to the interior were destroyed. We were fortunate here that we only received the tail end of one of the storms and none of the flooding or slides that so many other communities endured. However once it sunk in that with the direct highways to the coast out of commission, this was another potential supply chain interruption, some people in Kamloops lost their minds and went out and panic bought all the groceries. For a handful of days there was no milk, eggs, toilet paper (AGAIN), fruit, veggies, meat to be found at the stores.
I am happy to say that we personally did not panic buy and while we did run out of milk, bread and fruit, we managed to survive just fine until stores received deliveries, and we did not hoard more than we needed, causing issues for others in our community.
We do love our carbs though and the kids like sandwiches in their lunches, so I made a batch of Jason's Grandma's 2 Hour Buns to get us through the lean times. I realized after they came out of the oven that I forgot to add the salt (this is something that I do occasionally while making bread and it drives me crazy) so they were sweeter than usual but they made a good sandwich and snacking bun.
